“Opening a new Giant Tiger Stores is incredibly exciting. The energy that comes from the support staff, our associates and the community at large is wonderful,” said Bryanton.

For anyone who’s not familiar with Giant Tiger, the store will include family fashions, work wear, housewares and home fashions, seasonal merchandise and grocery, including fresh produce. The grocery section of the store will encompass about 3,000 square feet of the roughly 24,000 square feet store.

Anyone who would like to be kept abreast of the store’s progress, and enter to win gift cards, is encouraged to “like” the store’s newly launched Facebook page.
